ianw1974 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Easiest way is check here: http://www.mandriva.com/ and then click Support and Hardware Compatibility List and check to see if your model is supported. Unfortunately it's down right now due to maintenance but check again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 The Mandriva hardware database always was a mess. The scanner seems well supported, either by free software ( sane and the "sane-snapscan" backend ) or commercial software ( Vuescan ), so it does look like a good buy.

sunshine13 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks for the link it looks like I will be able to get it working. I think it looks like a good buy I will be able to copy my old photos to an album at last. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
